Premium feel
Android 4.3 — not the latest

Solid aluminium body with plastic edging
Power button placement is good
Excellent battery life
BoomSound speakers are very loud

HTC Sense 5.5 is an improvement on the past generation
And you can now turn off BlinkFeed
The editors didn't like
It's really little more than a big HTC One
Large size means its hard to use all functions with one hand
A phablet-sized device
With no phablet features
It could be so much more than just a big phone
Hardware
Fingerprint sensor is awful
Awkward ergonomics
Fit and finish pales compared to One
Older CPU
Expensive
Unwieldy
Pointless fingerprint scanner
The HTC One Max is large and heavy and the integrated fingertip reader often fails to recognize finger swipes. The phone's battery is not removable either
And the One Max's components don't match its high price
Heavy
Fingerprint scanner is in a silly location
The fingerprint scanner has severe problems running in darker environments

First of all, it should be said that the HTC One max wasn't designed as HTC's next hero device - which seems to be a common misunderstanding. HTC's hero device was, and still is, the One. The One max was designed to complete the One portfolio and to serve...
The One max was the obvious next step for HTC’s range. “We’re very committed to being tight with the product portfolio” HTC told us, contrasting its scattershot approach of old – different devices for every different carrier, and for every different p...
It's often easy to fall into the trappings of modern society, which dictate that to make things better, they must be made bigger. The HTC One max is an exception to the rule, because it its case, bigger is most definitely not better -- at least for most p...

Loudest, clearest sound you'll find on a smartphone, Best build quality we've seen on a phablet, Expandable storage, Excellent display, HTC Sense balances aesthetics, utility better than any other Android skin
Sub-par camera for its class, Huge, heavy hardware, Software doesn't fully take advantage of screen size,
With the One max, HTC didn't set out to do what we expected it would. We were ready for a take-no-prisoners Galaxy Note competitor, a phablet that would merge lessons learned from HTC's short-lived Flyer tablet with the regal aesthetics of the One to c...
This is one of the tougher reviews we've had in a while. The One Max feels too bulky for what it offers under the hood, and that's our biggest complaint with the phone. The fingerprint reader is a neat addition, but the phone is so big that it's was more ...
Abstract: Does the world need a 5.9-inch HTC One?We like the HTC One. Twice this year we’ve said it was the best Android phone you can buy, and there’s a strong argument for saying that’s still the case today. When it arrived back in March, the HTC One bucked ...
Abstract: With the massive boom in popularity of gaming on the go, smartphone developments are pushing the boundaries of technology even further. Here are the some of the best examples from the 2014 releases:With a 3000mAh battery, the G2 from LG is one of the best...
Sharp screen, Great stereo speakers, Gorgeous UI, Expandable storage, camera
Less premium design, Doesn't bring the benefits that some do to that large screen
Overall, the HTC One Max doesn't quite sweep us off our feet in the same way its smaller sibling did.It offers good performance in most areas, but it fails to challenge the best, and that drop in build quality is a disappointment.While it's a solid effort...
